would warranty aftermarket, not gm warranty) cover to replace the intake manifold? the quick connect vacuum line broke off and has been backfiring and not driveable at all..brought it to dealership thinking warranty would cover but they said it wont since this piece shouldnt break..

 

You're asking a blanket question.....so a blanket answer is, "NO".

Probably a hundred different aftermarket companies for "warranty" policies. Each has their own boilerplate. Probably should read your policy for the accurate answer.

 

can you drill and tap for a barbed fitting?

 

no since there is a hole on the side of the intake mani..the quick connect nipple thing is snapped off

 

Time to search for a good used one, here are the results from a quick search I just did.

What the heck do you do to your car to have all of these weird problems? You have the worst luck I can imagine.
